Glad you like them,I do not care for them. When I picked up my LC I was disappointed there were not Michelin tires on it. The Michelin tires give better ride & handling. I am not in the minority complaining about the Dunlops, check on Tire rack the ratings & reviews of the sport maxx.

Something in both side of the door squeaks. Very similar to rubbing two Styrofoam pieces together. I had it fixed (door lock cable) but as I rolled down the window it came back. So will take it back in the spring.

just to be clear, i'm a huge fan of michelins too.
i see you're referring to non-run flats as a replacement. i think i will stick with run flats.
when i picked up my lc, i saw it had dunlops. sure i would have preferred it came with michelins based on experience but i'm just glad it didn't have the bridgestones which i've read a lot of bad about.
so JSM, are you down on the dunlops simply because they're not michelins or do you find something specific to complain about when driving the car?
i like to have 'fun' with my lc on curvy roads, and i've not experienced any tire limitations, guess i'm not having enough fun.
FWIW, I had the Dunlap Sport Maxx's on my Jag XKR (non ROF) as OEM tires, and when i changed to Michelin Pilot Sports the ride and handling of the car improved dramatically, if I remember correctly the Michelin's weighed less, and any reduction in unsprung weight is a positive for an improvement in handling/driving characteristics, plus Michelins are known to be better tires. My MB S550 coupe came with Goodyear F1 Supercar ROF's and when I switched to non-ROF (Pilots) it also dramatically changed both the ride and over driving characteristics of the car. If I decide to get the vert the first thing I'd do is have the dealership change out the ROF's to non-ROF Michelin Pilots using touch free equipment. My BMW M850 came with the HP pkg with Michelin Pilot non-ROF's amongst other cool things, and BMW provides an extended mobility kit if you happen to get a flat.

not a rattle, but a squealing sound everytime the steering wheel extends/retracts for easy access. Sounds like it just needs some grease, but ill get the dealer to look at that and do the personalization settings as well.

Just dropped her off at the dealer again.
I've only put 1,200 miles on her since it was "fixed" last time so we will see what happens.
Also, I have a glass on rubber squeak at 45-55mph on the trim piece separating the driver window from the rear window. When I push it, the noise goes away. SO this will be address at this visit, too.

didn’t fix it yet as it doesn’t always happen, and dunno how to redo it so the dealer can pinpoint the issue

Its' the body of the vehicle shifting and making the noise when I turn left/right between 14-19 mph.
Like something is loose.

Try reversing up a steep ramp. That's when I hear my noise coming from right rear.
